Go bold or go home sums up Phytolacca 'Sunny Side Up', a plant that will have passerbys slamming on their brakes. Continuing our tradition of offering great, ornamental selections of US native plants, we proudly share our 2011 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a Robert Hughes selection of our native Phytolacca americana. This massively stunning specimen is composed of wrist-sized 7' tall stalks, clothed with bright golden, tobacco-sized leaves (brightest in full sun). Starting in late June (NC), the clumps are topped with sprays of tiny white flowers followed by dark purple berries...a stunning color combination. If you don't want lots of offspring, we recommend a horticultural circumcision before fruit drop.
